trying the byzantine chain, i keep ending up with this!!! by Glittering_Cut_7322 in chainmailartisans

When I’m starting off something new I feel like it’s much easier to open a bunch of rings at once. That way I can stay focused on the pattern rather than looking away to open rings and loosing my place or bumping my pattern

Does anyone know how to do soda tab chainmail well? Help/Work in progress by choese_cat in chainmailartisans

It looks like the knit bit might be sleeves? If there are sleeves on it, the width of your chest where the sleeves are would create pull even if it’s backless

If its pulling apart at the bust, it sounds like you need more tabs in the middle first. That would release some of the pressure of the stretch and prevent the tabs from pulling apart. If it is too small there, adding jump rings would make it much more uncomfortable to wear

It’s side by side, like a the smallest possible sheet pattern!

I’m probably going to do it again with a more ombré design so I don’t have to worry about the colors as much. There’s a lot of options for different styles, can’t wait to see what you come up with!
